Wrestling fans, brace yourselves! Paradigm Talent Agency has just body-slammed its way into the spotlight with a shiny new sports division dedicated to representing wrestling’s biggest egos—I mean, stars. Yes, that includes CM Punk, Damian Priest, Drew McIntyre, Tiffany Stratton, WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan, and more. Paradigm’s revamped “Sports Group” is here to make sure these superstars have someone to lean on when the folding chairs come out.
According to a report from Deadline, this new Sports Group has been branded as “a dedicated, all-encompassing division established to represent a roster of elite athletes and iconic teams”—or in wrestling terms, they’re aiming to be the championship belt of sports representation. Leading this tag team of agents are Paradigm vets Nick LoPiccolo and Brett Hansen. LoPiccolo’s got a headlock on the Head of Content role, while Hansen holds the mighty title of Senior Content Agent.
But let’s not overlook the shocking twist—cue dramatic wrestling music—an AEW star has joined Paradigm’s WWE-heavy lineup! That’s right, AEW’s very own Miro is in the mix, sharing agency with WWE’s big names in a cross-promotional feud that nobody saw coming. Not to mention, the group also represents a few other famous fists from the sports world, like boxing legend Mike Tyson, UFC’s Jorge Masvidal, and NFL alumni Reggie Bush, Drew Bledsoe, and Aaron Donald.
And in a fun little side plot, Paradigm’s Sports Group is helping WWE talents expand beyond the ring. Natalya, Montez Ford, and Tiffany Stratton have reportedly started dabbling in the agency’s publishing division. We’re guessing that means we might soon see WWE stars dipping their toes into books, podcasts, or maybe even a “how to” guide on chair throws.
As if that wasn’t enough, Paradigm’s big debut comes with a major event this weekend: the epic Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul face-off, streaming live on Netflix. Paradigm’s Sports Group didn’t just sit in the stands for this one—they negotiated the streaming deal and produced an all-access Netflix series called “Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson,” which, let’s be honest, is really the heavyweight showdown we didn’t know we needed.
